    Inspect Your Spiritual DNA 1) You’re more like Cain than you’d like to admit 2) You’re more like Christ than you realize

    DNA testing is becoming more and more common. The police regularly use it of course to track down criminals but law-abiding citizens are also having their DNA tested.

Nobody asks for Mrs. Smith when they could ask for Margaret ...read more
